Public street events are a wonderful means of community building, but you will need to make sure you are a good neighbor. Because the flow of traffic could be blocked, residents and customers may not be able to access their usual parking lots, and businesses may have deliveries scheduled during your event set up times. You will need to give all surrounding businesses and residents ample opportunity to reschedule or plan for alternate parking. A great idea is to arrange with a nearby parking lot owner to allow residents spaces to park while their streets are closed. Connect with businesses to arrange times before the event that deliveries can be made, and of course invite everyone to your event.
You should also place signage the night before the event along your area to let drivers know the time their cars need to be off site.
